Long-Term Use of Cialis for BPH Management

Cialis, taken daily at a low dose (2.5mg or 5mg), is often prescribed for long-term BPH management. This approach aims to provide consistent symptom relief.

Regular monitoring by your doctor is vital. This includes regular check-ups to assess your blood pressure and to discuss any potential side effects. Open communication with your physician is key.

While generally well-tolerated, some men experience side effects. Common ones include headache, back pain, and nasal congestion. These are usually mild and transient. However, report any concerning side effects immediately to your doctor.

Long-term use might require dose adjustments based on your response and tolerance. Your physician will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency for your specific needs.

Other treatments for BPH may be necessary in conjunction with Cialis, or as an alternative if Cialis proves ineffective. These can include alpha-blockers or surgery. Your doctor will discuss the best treatment plan for you.
